esbrown reviewed Willi Schaefer Riesling Spätlese 2003 on July 31, 2005 From one of the best in the Mosel, and just an outstanding effort. Very expressive on the nose with peaches, flowers, indian spices and a distinct terroir-driven minerality. Similar on the palate, but much more lush. Creamy, chalky and almost heavy, but with a pleasant vein of acidity on the finish. Tingly and acidic, yet plush and rich. Tart, yet fruity. Balanced in almost every way. Delicious now, but this wine could use a while in bottle where it is sure to turn from exciting to downright decadent. |
